GTA VI Official Trailer

SlimySnake

Flashless at the Golden Globes
Ngl, this is the very first time a GTA trailer has done nothing for me. I’m interested to see how far they can push their world simulation but generic white guy number 1000 does nothing for me. In the GTA 4 trailer, you could tell Niko had an edge to him. In the GTA 5 trailer, you could tell what type of guy Michael was, or Franklin or Trevor. These two are so boring in this trailer.
I think thats a good sign. You dont want your main character to be too over the top. Thats how you get Trevor being a complete psychopath and unrelateable, franklin dropping n-bombs every five seconds, and michael having a meltdown over his family or over a mission going wrong. stoic is good. The other chick is there to be the foil. This looks fucking serious unlike gta5 and thats a good thing.

Last time that shithead probably saw pussy was when he came out of one.


Design-wise he looks pretty dope, imho.
Rougher than in the leaks where he appeared to me a bit like a redneck.
But we will see, there is too little to judge. Many people hated Arthur Morgan after the second trailer and we all know how that turned out.

Trailer hit all the right notes for me. Only thing I am a bit sad about is that it's not set in the 80s. Last two GTAs were set in modern times so a current gen VC in the 80s with a Pablo Escobar/mexican cartel setting would have been a dream come true. Although this trailer also looks like a dream come true.
If he’s supposed to be a redneck, he’s the most “woke” redneck I’ve ever seen. Like I said, let’s see how he turns out because the dude does not appear remotely interesting. That’s not a criticism leveled only at him. I also have my reservations about Lucia. Looks like the average mall goer in my area. Im not too wowed by her character and she spent the whole trailer talking.

True. But some important folks did leave, several writers for example. We'll see. Personally I have to say Arthur is their best protagonist and I just didn't have that with GTA V.
That's also true, but the ones that left didn't leave until after writing for this game would be basically done.

I didn’t particularly rate GTA 5 story but the characters were unique. I don’t see how these characters are relatable. Personally, I see nothing in common with bank robbers, ex-cons, 2-bit thieves and myself but that’s just me.

I'm starting to see people on other forums trying to condone what Strauss from Take Two said about how it should be paid by hour. Brrrrrruh.

Yeah, let's not do that.

Second that.
GTA V was great and all but the main leads were not all that interesting. They were fun, cool and over the top characters for the sake of the story but not anywhere near the dimension of an Arthur Morgen or a John Marston. Niko Bellic was also much better than the GTA V leads.
I hope we get a calmer, wittier and more calculated male lead with Jason and Lucia can be the more spirited one.

I personally like the idea of a female protagonist.
Same here. It's two characters, a dude and a woman. Bonnie and Clyde like rumors said, basically, I dig that. Hopefully both are interesting characters too.
Or about how R* still has not included a trans lead in their games. Scandalous!

Well....that would have been something and let's just say it's good they didn't. 😂

One of the main reasons I loved Sleeping Dogs is because I just want to play a normal character. So far she seems pretty normal in GTA6. I dont need to be Scarface.
 
Hes not the lead. The marketing art is a bait and switch. The chick is leading the whole trailer, he says 1 word.
We will definitely be able to play both. Both of them will be the leads.
I bet there will be even two trailers for each one down the line like they did with the three from V.
 
The simulation will better, the animation? I’ll wait till I actually see full gameplay. Simulation will be more detailed because it’s an entirely different type of game which rockstar spent 12 years building. Looking at the last scene where she’s like trust, that’s a close up scene where they can push the graphics as far as they want. What I see there is cross gen. Like I said the game looks good but I don’t think it’ll be impressive because of its graphics. It’ll be impressive because if it’s scale. I can say with full confidence right now that some of Robocops outdoor scenes look better than this game. Many can even successfully argue that AW2 looks better too.
Are you sure this isn’t a style issue? It’s not going for a photorealism look.
 
I wonder what game will be unfortunate enough to release the month of gta vi release. Might as well just close the studio lights as soon as you push the button to launch.
We are not prepared for how much this gta is gonna sell.

They are targeting a March 2025 launch. Amazing trailer. Graphics are insane. Crazy to see the Series S handling this level of fidelity. PC requirements will be crazy, none of the handheld PCs will be able to play this.

I like the Horizon games but maybe they can keep up tradition and release the third one the week before.

GTA V is the worst written modern Rockstar game by a mile. Humor is great to have but it refuses to take itself seriously for more than 3 seconds. It’s exhaustingly cynical and might as well be a South Park episode. I’m really hoping VI is more in line with GTA IV and both Red Dead games tonally.

Tag, you're it.
The leaked alpha footage doesn't blow anything away, sorry to say.
Omagad I keep seeing this shit and obviously you have NO CLUE how all of this is working.

They don't suddenly build the engine and it looks that good from the start. What you saw on those leaks was some gameplay system/features for GTAVI BEING TESTED IN THE GTAV ENGINE.
Or, to be more precise, on the version of the Rage Engine that is powering GTAV.

Amazing trailer. Super lame it's 2025.
